Could listen to John all day. Absolute legend

Grew up watching Surtees Hailwood, Read Sheene Joey and so many more and just like them John is a legend. And all of our motorcycle racing legends have always been approachable as well. If life is fair I will be long gone and John will still be meeting and greeting his fans. Another great interview.

I think he does, absolutely. However he is still down to earth and is very relatable. He is one of those guys who is very talented but can communicate well with regular folk. He tells us about situations we can relate but not really stuff that we can’t. He is a genuine guy, he is himself with everyone

A nice man and a great road racer years back. Enough with the exhibition laps now though every year at the TT. Watching him go backwards is just destroying a great legacy. And your right, even now I couldn't get anywhere near him and never could have.

Class bit of kit you will love that, ive always had 750's yzf750r and now yzf OWO2 R7, little bit less manic than a 600, only briefly riden a suzuki gsxr600 and an early R6, they were brilliant, done loads of track days on the R7 and its yec kitted to 147 bhp and the only way i could shake a 600 off would be on a straight line drag race,.

You and your mates can fettle a bike and then do 11 tenths - nothing to prove! Stay healthy and alive mate! John, I listen to this interview - and you keep talking about doom and potential doom - just do the family thing John! (I've been watching F1 videos from the 1970's - is current bike racing similar?)

Interesting interview,I think John has talked him self out of racing at the very top level now , but can’t give it up entirely even at the age of 52 its been his life for so many years, its like a drug, perhaps he thinks more about hurting himself as the law of averages of keeping injury free are diminishing Regarding Tommy he’s very diplomatic knowing that Honda will take time to sort out at race meetings given the time restrictions and all the other teams are up to speed already from last year
